Okay, so this brings the question...again. Why is an eight year old cartoon two tailed fox and his fifteen year old hedgehog friend okay to go at but somefurs characters of the same age not? This is where the confusion lies the most. Isn't cub cub? Or is it only cub if it's not wildly popular? Is there a provision in this law to allow popular cartoon children? This is really not a legal issue, I'm sure. I'm just wishing there would be a better definition of cub. Like age rather than how popular it is. If it were illegal, the judge would not give it an okay because it's from a cartoon.
Also, why this law? Why not copyright laws upheld? I know WWOEC Has gotten letters from companies lawyers about their characters before (I have scans of one such letter). It just doesn't make sense to call it a legal issue when there's a double standard and other laws not payed any attention to. I know this is just racking my head against a brick wall since a majority of the staff are cub haters. I think it just causes a bigger outcry and argument calling it a legal issue rather than a "My server not yours" issue. If Fchan really wanted to follow the law there would be no /toon/, there would be real ID checks, and other things put in place to protect itself.
